Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Bars Recipe

Although rhubarb has a flavor and crunch similar to celery, the tart, brightly colored stalks are traditionally paired with sweet fruits in pies and other baked goods.

The frosé—or frozen rosé—has quickly become one of the most popular summertime drinks, thanks to NYC's Bar Primi, which first tossed some rosé in a slushie machine to see what would happen.

To truly replicate the Bar Primi creation, blend with pureed strawberries and a few ounces of Vermouth.
